38Selector key NAV (Navigation)OverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommendations
can only then be re-transmitted.
Incomplete navigation data
The navigation system cannot receive any da ta from GPS satellites if you drive for
longer periods under thick forest canopy or when your vehicle is in a garage, under-
pass or tunnel. In this case, th e navigation system orientates itself solely with the
help of the vehicle sensors.
In regions not at all or only partially digitalised and stored as such on the navigation
DVD, the navigation system will try to provide guidance to the destination. Please
note that under these circumstances the guidance to the destination may not be
completely correct if, for example, one-wa y streets and road categories (motorway,
country road etc.) are not at all or only partially included in the navigation data
used.
WARNING
Always concentrate fully on your drivin g. Inattention by the driver can lead
to accidents and injuries.•
Do not allow yourself to be distracted or loose your concentration, pay
attention to the traffic situation and do not carry out settings or use the radio
navigation system.
•
Only use the radio navigation system if road, weather and traffic situa-
tions permit this and you are not distracted.
•
The various volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible
signals from the outside, such as e.g. a Martins horn from police cars and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please observe the legal requirements for road traffic when following the
driving recommendations provided by your radio navigation system.•
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situa-
tions, e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case,
always observe the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommenda-
tions.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations al ways have priority over the driving
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to informa-
tion relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored on the naviga-
tion DVD. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions
is not included in the radio navigation system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not
allow the navigation system to make yu drive faster in fog – risk of
accident!
Navigation data and the navigation DVDStoring navigation data in the unit
– Push a navigation DVD with as far as possible into the CD/DVD case
with the written side facing up until it is automatically drawn in. The
unit will compare the data on the navigation DVD with the data in the
navigation system memory. No message will appear if the data in the
navigation system memory of the unit is identical to the data on the
navigation DVD.
– Press the function key , to find out that the storing process has
been completed.

– If the corresponding message appears, press the key or press the function key and take out the navigation DVD. Active route guid-
ance is interrupted and must be restarted.
Updating navigation data in the unit
– If the data of the navigation DVD is not identical to that stored in the
navigation memory of the unit, a corresponding message will be
displayed.
– Press on the function key to ov erwrite the data in the navigation
system memory of the unit with the data from the navigation DVD.
Using the data of a navigation DVD for a short period of time
– If you leave the stored area map in the navigation memory of the unit
for only a short period of time, insert the navigation DVD for the area
to be driven.
– Press on the function key and leave the navigation DVD in the unit. The unit uses only the data from the navigation DVD for the
navigation.
– If you are again in the area of the ma p material stored in the navigation
memory, press the key to take out the navigation DVD.
Storing the navigation data can take up to one hour. Route guidance will start via
the navigation DVD while the navigation data is being stored. Please note that route
guidance will be interrupted if the navi gation DVD is taken out. Route guidance
must then be restarted with details suppl ied from the navigation system memory
of the unit.
Up to date navigation data and new navigation DVD
Road guidance is subject to constant chan ges (e.g. new streets, changes of street
names and house numbers). A navigation DVD is a huge data store, which unfortu-
nately will not be up to date after a cert ain time. This can lead to complaints during
route guidance. It is for this reason that you must regula
rly update the navigation data on your unit
with a current navigation DVD.
Input windows of the navigation systemSelecting a destination from the list
– If you press on the function key after opening the input mask, a list will open with all the destinations containing the relevant parameters
selectable from the navigation memory (e.g. and ).
– If need be, move the sliding regulator to the right edge of the touch- screen for all entries in the list to be displayed.
– Press the desired entry in the list to take it over for the address.
Limiting the destination and selecting from the list
– You can open a list of the selectable destinations any time by pressing the function key behind the entry line while making entries in the
entry line. Only destinations select able from the navigation memory
will be displayed and which corres pond to the requirements and the
character sequence in the entry line.
– The number of selectable destinatio ns will be displayed in the func-
tion key if fewer than one hundred destinations can be selected.
–If fewer than six destinations ar e selectable, the entry window will
close automatically and a list of possible destinations will be
displayed.

route guidance” around the announced traffic problem on your route.
After input of relevant traffic information for your route you will be advised of the
change in the current route guidance by means of an acoustic message. You will
automatically be guided around announced traffic jams or blocked roads, if this
saves time. Such announcements will take place if a
traffic problem affects the original route
calculation, the traffic problem has been solved and the navigation system can see
only one possibility of driving the actually most advantagous route.
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
The unit has a continuous background of TMC traffic reports providing a TMC
station at the current location can be received.
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the broadcast editing
carried out by the radio station. The rece ption of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the navigation
data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit memory or can be called up
via an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be di splayed by pressing the selector key
.
Note
•
There may not be any advantantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of
the TMC traffic reports, the dive rsion is also heavily congested.
•
You can manually block the information for the route in front of you if a traffic
problem ahead has not yet been included in the TMC traffic reports ⇒page 58.
